And yes, it seems win 10 totally sucks at providing anything by way of useful information as to why something isn’t working.

Bruneep I had this problem at first – I followed the steps here (reddit[/url]) and this solved the problem for me.

I then failed at second attempt because I had left “secure OS boot” enabled in my PC’s bios (feature in some motherboards to prevent malware attempts to tinker with the OS). Disabled that option temporarily for the win 10 install and it all ran smoothly from then.

Hey dallas95:

Intel HD 4000 – driver 10.18.10.4252
Centrino wireless N 2230 – driver 15.16.0.2

I just (now) ran the widi update tool downloaded from here – it uninstalled the widi software from my Win 10 laptop, restarted it then ‘detected’ two new audio devices & installed drivers; Belkin miracast (screencast) shows as a device in device manager even when not connected.

After that ‘uninstall’ of the widi software I find widi runs better now (i.e. smoother and quicker) than straight after the upgrade install, although I notice that the ability to change scaling has disappeared (I previously had to change the scaling to prevent a little too much overscan on the TV).

I suspect (given that Win 8.1 got rid of the widi widget) that Win 10 handles widi with a ‘baked in’ set of controls. I can’t find any widi software installed on my laptop anymore, even though widi runs perfectly well.

It’s good to remind people of this kind of thing. I disabled various bits of Win 10 on install for privacy reasons, but I suspect many people didn’t/won’t.

Given the frankly astonishing amount of data collected about all of us in our everyday lives by many more sources than the OS on my PC, I don’t see that Win 10 is anything incredible or even out of the ordinary in terms of data collection. As the article points out, it’s the new norm.

Faceache and Google between them collect an incredible amount of data without anyone ever thinking about it. And that’s just two obvious targets.

It depends on whether you blankly click “allow” (or similar)/go with the default, or are the kind of user who actually bothers about their security and privacy settings.

But as the article also points out, if you want all the shiny, you’ve got to play by their terms.

Maybe just that people don’t evaluate terribly well what they’re giving away to get the shiny shiny.

It’s just whatever Win 10 installed all by itself – I haven’t done anything to it. Sorry, I know that’s precisely nil help!

My laptop is at home – will double check when I get home later and post up what details I can about the version.

I had the opposite with WIDI on my laptop – Win 8.1 totally borked it, upgrade install of Win 10 and WIDI springs back into life!

Running on i5 CPU with Intel HD4000 iGPU, all drivers as chosen by Win 10 installation software. Has additional GPU options too – I can control refresh rate of TV via WIDI (which I couldn’t under Win 8 ) so at full 1080p HD can go for flicker-free 24Hz or 25Hz (instead of the choppy as hell 30Hz that Miracast hobbles you with by default). 60Hz for all non-HD resolutions.

Got 2.2 Trail King in Black Chili on the rear of my 29 HT; cracking tyre, rolls nicely, grips well, lets go predictably. I run it all year round. Mountain King in 2.2 on the front (also Black Chili) for more grip.

Fulcrum Racing 5’s and a pair of 4000s II’s for £178 delivered? Ta very much OP – top PSA 😀

Alien Isolation for me at the moment, interspersed with a bit of Dying Light or Wolfenstein: Old Blood. Just finished off Metro 2033 Redux.

Desperately looking forward to X COM 2 though.

Help defray additional costs by offering a bespoke bike delivery service for discerning STW purchasers from Canyon to the UK?

I didn’t realise they were still playing. Where as they in Dec?

Crankboy I’m behind you all the way. I got out of legally aided work many years ago – it couldn’t pay my mortgage and out food on the table so I jumped, but plenty in my Chambers (and a number of my friends too) still work in areas funded by legal aid.

To all the non-lawyers showing support – it is really appreciated by those who are taking a stand against outrageous, unjustified and untested cuts which effectively render legal aid work wholly pointless.

tyrionl1 – see what Ben H says ^^^^ there? £25k full-time self-employed having spent years (and years) to qualify and train?

And by full-time I mean “being called out at Christ O’Clock in the morning to a police station” or “getting papers at 6pm the night before the hearing so you’ve got to stay up all night preparing”. Proper full-time.

And no pension, sick pay or holiday pay to boot.

That’s a real “gravy train” right there.

As mintimperial quite rightly notes – the end result is people left without legal advice or legal representation unless they’re prepared to pay for it on private client rates.

So let’s hope you’re never wrongly accused of a crime, eh?

Because the Government changed the regulations so you can’t get back money you pay as a private client to be defended by a non-legal aid lawyer, even if you’re found ‘not guilty’.

So yes – spare a thought for the legal aid lawyers. They provide a huge and valuable service that you would hope neither you nor anyone you care about ever has to rely on and they do it for much less than the Government’s PR and spin people/Daily Fail would whip you up into a frenzy for.

tyrionl1 you do understand that even before these cuts legal aid lawyers were expected to prepare for a hearing that could last all day, travel to the hearing, do the (all day hearing) then travel back all for the princely total of £46.50 – and often unpaid (because of the fee structure adopted by the Ministry of Justice many individual hearings were unpaid?)

Oh, and many are self-employed so that £46.50 for your whole day includes all your travel costs, business expenses, food, any staff you have to employ and other frivolous things like tax payments and a mortgage.

It’s why I gave up legal aid work.

My private clients are willing to pay a proper fee for my work. The Government (through legal aid) didn’t.

Waiver is fine I’m afraid. If you want it immediately they are entitled to be paid (pro-rata) for any work done during the cooling off period.

You can still cancel in the cooling off period, but you won’t get all of your money back, only that which covers the period for which they didn’t do any work.

It’s the down side to wanting them to work immediately.

If it’s leaking out of the sidewalls, have you done the Stans shaky-shaky properly?

I’m particularly thinking of photo #10 – lying the whole thing on its side (parallel to the ground) for a good long bit, then shaky-shaky and lie it down on the other side until the sidewalls seal?

Particularly note the bullet points at step 6 at the bottom of that page – spinning the tyre won’t seal the sidewalls.

The Government (relatively) recently tightened the criteria against which people who were wrongly convicted of criminal offences could claim compensation for that wrongful conviction.

These two were bringing an action against that restriction claiming that it impinged on their Convention rights – their claim being that since they were wrongly convicted and spent several years in prison as a result of miscarriages of justice that they should have some compensation for those years of their life lost and the massive and ongoing impact that the wrongful convictions have had on their lives.

The High Court dismissed their claim, ruling that the Government’s revised compensation scheme does not impinge upon their Convention rights.

It is a brilliant plan although the station also has pay by mobile too so you can top it up if plans go awry.

And you’ll have less distance to go when you get back if you park at the station.

Stitch it with dental floss, patch on the inside of the tyre, ride it tubeless no problem. Rode a conti race king on the back for about 18 months like that.

midlifecrashes Gove isn’t wearing a wig because he’s not a lawyer

Cracking PSA will nip over and get some of that cheese 🙂

It’s an Atari 2600. I had one too.

+1 for Mr Woppit

Clear Ambassadors here on the toms & coated on the snare.

Tape needed. Mine came with no tape on.

Don’t know about the 2.4 but I’m running a 2.2 MKII ProTection on front with a 2.2 X-King on the rear and I’m happy with them as a pair on my 29er HT. Both running tubeless.

I’ve Schwalbe Durano on my road/commuter bike for a 24-mile round trip across similar terrain as you describe. They’re great and I found them much cheaper than Contis.

I’ve nothing against Contis (I use them and prefer them on my MTB – and actually I don’t like Schwalbe MTB tyres) but Schwalbe Duranos are great. I’d very happily buy them again.

Or this:

Denon DHT-T100

from superfi.co.uk (£179)?

You need the Environment Agency and also your County Council planning enforcement officers (County Councils are responsible for waste and mineral planning matters which this may well be part of if it’s a former quarry site). Or your unitary authority if you’ve one of those instead of a district/county split.

Blair Witch? Just, no.

Plus laptop and huge pile of papers.

I’ve a Canyon 29er (grand canyon 7.9). LOTS of bike for the cash. Only issue has been the Mavic Crossride wheels (rear hub play) which seems to be a known issue with that hub.

Couldn’t be ar$ed with warranty so rode them into the ground then got Hope hoops to replace them. Still plenty of cash saved as against what a similar spec bike would have cost from a more traditional supplier to begin with.

Those Spectrals are tempting!

Sorry to have to break this to you, but The Palace of Dreams has seen more than a few turds!

And, before anyone says otherwise, Clowns is a wine bar. That’s wine bar, not vomit strewn shithole of a drinking den.

CFH I’ve had more than my fair share of Juicy Lucys in Clowns before the rest of the evening disappeared into incoherence and somehow finished in Jesters. Ahhh, student days.

We did Eurotunnel to Gare du Nord and stayed in an apartment in the Marais district of Paris for the week. We did one day in Disneyland Paris which was dead easy by train (even from central Paris) and spent the rest of the week in Paris itself. Do it, you won’t regret it!

But no need whatsoever to stay in a Disney resort.

Although both RAL 1016 and RAL 1026 are matched with Pantone 388c here

I reckon the RAL 1026 looks better. But then I’m not the one getting the powdercoat on my bike!

Crown race on the rigids?

Bump for the early evening bods
